head to head
Call of Duty: WWIIvsGears of War 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.

Gears of War 2
Execution · Practiced Mastery
The sequel adding Horde mode to the campaign-plus-versus cover shooter formula.

Call of Duty: WWIIGears of War 2
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Call of Duty: WWII
Boots-on-ground gunskill decides most fights
Gears of War 2
Gnasher battles and movement tech set the ceiling
Reads4 vs 4
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Call of Duty: WWII
Spawns and loot crates inject randomness
Gears of War 2
Horde spawns add mild randomness
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Call of Duty: WWII
Division builds and map lanes are learnable
Gears of War 2
Power-weapon timing and positioning are solvable
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
